Survival inRoblox’s Dead Railsis sometimes very difficult, so to reach the 80,000-meter mark and escape, you need to be well-prepared. An important part of preparing for the run is choosing a suitable class. You can just choose the one you prefer, but it is worth noting that some will be much less effective than others.

So, to help you make the right choice and know which of the Dead Rails classes is the best, we’ve evaluated each of them to determine how effective they are. We will also explain why a particular class received its grade by providing an informative description of each of them.

Classes Tier List

The game featuresfour different classes,each with unique abilities that define your survival strategy. We have categorized them into three tiers:

S

Alamo

The Alamo classexcels in defensive capabilities, allowing players to survive longer during the run. It focuses on fortifying the train, making it a strong pick for those who prefer atanky playstyle. The includedBarbed WireandMetal Sheetshelp reinforce defenses, while theshovelwill serve as a starting weapon. This class is ideal for players who prioritize sustainability over damage.

Arsonist

Arsonist, unlike the Alamo, is not designed for defense at all but ratherfocuses on maximizing damage. It specializes infire-based attacks, dealing double fire damage, making it the best DPS class in the game. TheMolotovsthat come with this class provide strong crowd control, allowing players toquickly clear buildings or zone enemies.This class is ideal for aggressive players looking to burn enemies.

A

Doctor

The Doctor is avaluable support class, which should be played in a team. It comes equipped withSnake OilandBandages, allowing you toheal and revive teammates.While not as effective when playing alone, it excels incooperative runswhere survival and sustainability are crucial. This class is a great choice for those who enjoy a supportive role.

B

Ironclad

Although the Ironclad is awalking tank with high durability, it suffers from a serious drawback - a20 percent movement speed debuff. In the wasteland, where you will be constantly surrounded by zombies and other enemies, mobility is key, sothis debuff makes this class the least viable, despite its strong defense.This is especially true during the late game when enemies will be literally at every turn, and your chances of survival will be dramatically reduced.
